Some Interesting Facts Concerning LAs41
Seizure and Release.
WAsH1NaEOE, D. O., Nay 12.-Inquiry at
the department. Of state regarding the
British vessels seized In the BshEtng SEA last
summer diBolcsss the fEcs that no demand
meht for The release Of the vessels, nor has
any claim OF damages caused by the seizure
been made upon the government Of the
Unitad States The correspondence between
the Two governments on the subject was
very limited. It opened With q letter from
the fact Of the seizures, snd
September last, and Secretary BayaEd
Immediately began Al examination Of th8
matter. It became necessary 20 secure the
records Of proceedings before the United
States court In AlaskAs which had resulted
Cd in the condemnation Of the ssalsrB, and
e Wa1 net until the following FebFuaE
tnsb this was received a. the
department. A careful examination vas
then made Of the law and OF the treaty OF
oo1siOns BY which the United States became
possessed Of Alaska, which resulted in an
order for the release OF the seized vessels
The fact that the 5saleEs had been released
was communicated 70 the British govern
msnt, and that was about all there was
OF the CORE pOndenCo upon the subject
There had been no occasion for this govern
ment to make an O1dcial declaration Of the
91la44l OF ll0 I4EAs4lGL4Ou Over lLA- MlLsEl q
the Behring sea. The matter received
careful examination, however, and the
details Of The treaty and
prior correspondence on g general
subject OF marine jurisdiction were studied
It was found that the boundary line between
the Russian and United States possessionss
as defined BY treaty, divided the
waters Of the Behringo sea
into two parts, which would tend 70
negative the idea that 10 vas 4
"olOssd sea" as the term is commonly IN
dsrstOOd- This government hEd also resisted
vigorously the claim Of RuBaia to iurisdio-
ton over the sea OF OchEtak, which ct She
time was almost surrounded by Rus
sian possessions, and refused to acknOWl-
edge RusEia's claim to jurisdiction over
the Behring sea before the GsssiOn Of Alas
IA In 1870, however, congress passed the
laws for the protection OF the fisheries OF
the Bshring sea, and by its decision sustain
ing the seizures The Alaskan court sB-
pears to have affirmed the jurisdiction
thus asserted. Meanwhile before assuming
a anal stand On the question Of jurisdiction
the department Of state is Awaiting with in
tsrsst the result OF the suit Of So, 800

The Interstate Commerce Law Suit to be
Driving Business Away From the United
States.
WAsHEzaToH, D. O.. Nay 16.-Ths depart
ment Of state has received and transmitted
to the interstate commerce commission for
its information letter from United States
Consul TWitchell. at Kingston, Canada, upon
the subject Of the interstate commerce law
and its effects upon our trade with Canada.
The consul says:
"Canada's high protective tarih, In which
there is no prospect Of reduction, has made
me apprehensive from the first Of the eject
Of the increased railroad rates on imports
from the United States to this section
OF Canada. Since the 4th Of
April these rates, as shown BY
freight bills paid here, have been
increased from % to 100 per cent. with no
change on the Canadian roads. After wait
ing thirty days fOrthe effects, have made
partial canvass of the Importers OF the CityOf
Kingston with the following results; "COal
dealers are preparing to bring from Nova
Scotia coal for all purposes where the Nova
Scotia coal can be used. Two factories
which have PlWay used American coal have
put in their orders for. Nova Scotia
coal. In hardware and pressed
tinWars I md orders have been
changed from American to Canadian houses
on account of freight. In groceries there is
the same complaint Tho products of
countries outside the United States they sx-
pect to get by way Of British Columbia and
Halifax. The unpleasant feature in Sonnsc-
ton with my canvass has been the general
expressed desire TO md how and where they
made their purchases without coming in
contact with American railroads. With this
great national reaching out for trade it
seems to me unnecessary to
prophecy what will be the effectou the Amer
10 IA manufacturer, wholesale dealer and
railroads by these general inquiries"
The interstate commerce has received
from the committee on railroads and trans
portatiOn Of the Prescott (Ariz.) board OF
trade, a protest against ''the suspension Of
section and against the railroads being al
lowed to charge moro to any
part Of the interior between the Mis-
sissippi river, Missouri river and the
Pacific coast than they do to the coast" The
protest says: ave, here IN the interior,
have been unmercif lilly treated and discrim-
mated against for the last six years by the
railroads. For instance, We have been
charged from st. Louis to PRESCOTT from
500 to 81, 800 while the same kind Of goods

Early statsnsnts II the Winter Losses
oonsidsrabIy Exaggerated.
Boston, May 18.-The Commercial Bulletin
publishes to-day special report Of range
and range cattle industry. The reports are
furnished by special correspondents from
thirteen states and territories, covering the
whole held. The conclusions arrived at in
dicats that early reports Of winter losses
have been considerably exaggerated. The
only territory where eattlemen have suffered
severe losses is In Colorado. Western Kan
sas. and Nebraska were very light, the
past winter running under per cent. on an
average. Parts Of Idaho and Wyoming suf-
fered quite seVsrly, particularly IN the north
western sections but the average losses in
both tsrritOritiss were not excessive. Utah,
fortunate. New Mexico correspondents
write that the loss does not exceed 3 per
cent. In the territory named.
Texas reports some suffering
was much more favorable 20 stoCkmeE than
that Of 16S5-18SS. On ths whole, therefore,
the conclusion Is arrived at that the past
winter was q favorable one to the cattle
raising interest OF the west, and that the hide
and leather markets viii not feel the eject
noticeable Of what fallen hides
that come On the market. From every
section come reports OF 9nrOaChnents
OF em1grantB upon the grazing territory
and particularly from EebraskB, Kansas and
Colorado, where the cattlemen are being
pushed steadily westward. 1t is the opinion
OF some OF the correspondents that the cat
tie raising industry has reached its height,
and several Estations report thai it is be-
coming necessary to raise alfalfa
and grass for feed. The in
tsrstats commerce law works to
the disadvantage Of most sections, but re-
ports vary On this point. Without exception
Is to q single state or territory the spring sea
son has opened well with an abundance Of
rain and 3 fne outlook for grass. Cattle
raisers in Montana feel much encouraged
over the outlook, and feel THAI the favOrsbie
spring viii 60 far to recuperato thsiE losses
and prevent further mortality among weak
cattle.
